Installation
Install it with npm
npm install ng2-sharebuttons --save
Basic usage:
Add ShareButtonsModule
to NgModule imports
array
import {ShareButtonsModule} from "ng2-sharebuttons";
@NgModule({
imports: [
ShareButtonsModule
]
})
in your template
<share-buttons [url]="linkToShare"></share-buttons>
The default icons requires fontawesome to be loaded into your project.
To display share counts on buttons, enable the input [count]="true"
, To display the total count of all shares, enable the input [totalCount]="true"
, To display a title for share buttons container use [title]="yourTitle"
<share-buttons [shareTitle]="'Share Twitter Site'"
[url]="'https://twitter.com'"
[count]="true"
[totalCount]="true"
></share-buttons>
Customization:
Customization is very easy, disable the default style with [defaultStyle]=false
then use the following classes to add your own css.
.sb-container{
//ShareButtons Holder
}
.sb-title{
//Share Title
}
.sb-count{
//Total Share Count
}
.sb-buttons{
//Buttons Container
}
.sb-btn{
//Share Button, the container of the button template
}
.sb-btn-count{
//Button Share Count
}
Each share service has its own button template, pass your custom button template as string in its input, e.g. give facebook a custom template [facebook]="facebookTemplate"
.
To exclude a button, pass false to the button input. e.g. [facebook]="false"
<share-buttons
[shareTitle]="shareTitle"
[defaultStyle]="false"
[facebook]="fbInner"
[twitter]="twitterInner"
[pinterest]="pintInner"
[linkedIn]="inInner"
[google]="googleInner"
[tumblr]="tumblrInner"
[reddit]="false"
[stumbleUpOn]="false"
></share-buttons>
export class SomeComponent {
shareTitle = "Sharing is caring";
fbInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/facebook.svg'>";
twitterInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/twitter.svg'>";
pintInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/pinterest.svg'>";
inInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/linkedin.svg'>";
googleInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/google-plus.svg'>";
tumblrInner = "<img src='../assets/img/custom/tumblr.svg'>";
}
Advanced usage:
Sometimes you just want to add a single button, or you want to make your own complex design, use the component <share-button>
in this case.
In this example, we will add a Tweet button, we will also add text and hashtags to the tweet.
import {ShareButton, ShareProvider} from "ng2-sharebuttons";
export class TestComponent{
twitterButton;
tags = 'Hello, World';
description = "This is a test";
ngOnInit() {
this.twitterButton = new ShareButton(
ShareProvider.TWITTER, //choose the button from ShareProvider
"<img src='../../assets/img/custom/single-twitter.svg'> Tweet", //set button template
'twitter' //set button classes
);
}
}
<share-button [button]='twitterButton' [description]="description" [tags]="tags"></share-button>
Another example for adding Pinterest button
import {ShareButton, ShareProvider} from "ng2-sharebuttons";
export class TestComponent{
pinButton;
description = "This is a test";
image= "../../assets/img/pinExample.jpg";
ngOnInit() {
this.pinButton = new ShareButton(
ShareProvider.PINTEREST,
"<img src='../../assets/img/custom/single-pinterest.svg'> Pin it",
'pinterest'
);
}
}
<share-button [button]='pinButton' [description]="description" [image]="image"></share-button>
<share-buttons>
share buttons component:
[url]

[tags]
: Adds hashtags to the tweet, also for tumblr tags
Sharebuttons container:

This is the best option to add Share features to elements with other directives on it, like for e.g Angular Material Buttons.

Misc
Use the service ShareButtonsService
to set global variables like:
- Site twitter account
- The popup share window's dimension.
import {ShareButtonsService} from "ng2-sharebuttons";
.
.
constructor(sbService:ShareButtonsService){
//Add `Via @yourTwitterAccount` to tweet button.
sbService.twitterAccount = "yourTwitterAccount";
//Set the height and width of the popup share window.
sbService.height = 600; //default: 400
sbService.width = 800; //default: 500
}
If you identify any errors in this component, or have an idea for an improvement, please open an issue. I am excited to see what the community thinks of this project, and I would love your input!
